Summary: Relive the Adventure!!
Review: I have loved this movie the first time I saw it on television I think maybe on HBO. I can only imagine how fun this would be watching it for the first time in the theater, must have been incredable for those who got the chance to. The movie is great the film is by the amazing Richard Donner. The story and every thing is done by the amazing Steven Spielberg who has a way with children and looking through the eyes of the adventure. The screen play is written by Chris Columbus! I mean what more can you ask for with those great men in Hollywood? How about an amazing cast just staring out you have the youngsters like Corey Feldmen who plays the loud mouth "Mouth," Sean Astin as the kid who leads them on the journey to save their home town, Josh Brolin who plays the older brother and helps keep them out of trouble and other noticable faces. Not only was this movie full of comedy but it leads to a spectacular adventure we can only dream about as kids. With spectacular senery, and great special effects.The DVD is amazing buy, the commentary by the entire cast is worth it to buy from but more on that later. The graphic's of the DVD is outstanding. It leads you through a cave like senery like in the movie with voice over's from the cast. The full length Cindy Lauper video that aired on MTV and was a number one hit "The Goonie's Are Good Enough." Some cut scene's with the octopus scene, and a scene that was cut out where they are in a 7/11 type store and so on. And a short but sweet Making of the Movie with talk from Richard Donner, some of the cast, and a young Steven himself. As for the commentary that alone is worth the buy. Everyone showed up. However, Sean Astin for reason's unknown walked out in the middle of the commentary and Richard Donner can't remember half of what had happened during the commentary of his own movie. However, a lot of it was saved by Corey Feldman and and Martha P. You'll hear interesting tid bits like maybe the hat from Indiana Jones was taken for the movie from the last Steven picture at the time :), The Jackson's hung out around the set, funny and memerable moments from the rest of the cast. It's truly amazing and I have fun watching it over and over. Even though they seem to be stepping over each other a lot it's just really fun to hear what happened during the making it. It's great for children maybe over 13 and great for adults to relive the adventure!

Summary: Still the best!! Goonies deserves 10 stars....
Review: The Goonies has to be hands down, the BEST movie to ever come out of the 80's. I was only a year old when it came out in the theaters, but I saw for the first time when I was very little, and to this day I still love it! This movie has some of the funniest and best lines I have ever heard..and whats even better is watching it on DVD. It looks like new now that it has been digitally enhanced, as well as the sound being enhanced. Its also in widescreen, so you get to see what was probably cut out of the background. And as for being the un-cut version, thats even better. It sux when they play it on tv, and they leave out the "Mouth en Espanol" scene (one of my favorites). The Cyndi Lauper music video in the 'Special Features' section is hilarious..it was nice to see the video in its entirety (since I never saw the whole thing, lol). Also, the outtakes feature is cool, because you get to see scenes that were originally cut out of the movie. Theres the quicky mart scene, the ever-so-talked-about octopus scene (now we know what Data means about the huge octopus at the end), a small scene with Sloth and Chunk (which they SHOULD HAVE left in, it was soooo funny!!) and theres another outtake that I am probably leaving out, but those are just a few! You can also watch the Commentary (which is kinda boring, but at least you get to see the actors all grown up). Then theres the usual foriegn language settings, and the theatrical trailer. And if you havent seen this movie before (shame on you! j/k) I hope you enjoy it!! :-)

Summary: Goonies are Good Enough
Review: I highly reccomand the DVD for anybody who remembers the truffle shuffle. This is one of the best kids movies of all time because for one thing it doesnt talk down to it's audience the way so many other kids movies do. It has a fun plot to it as well as Corey Feldman. I have introduced my niece and my nephews to this movie and they just love even though the movie is nearly twenty years old. I also loved the extras that came with this DVD as well. It had the classic Cyndi Lauper music video which is a fun one to watch if you are a wrestling fan. I also loved the fact that it also show the kids all grown up. Please purchase this if you are a Goonie just like me.

Summary: The Goonies Rock!
Review: This has always been one of my very favorite movies. The DVD is one of the best with its cool 3D option screens. I loved seeing "The Goonies" pristine, in surround sound, and--best of all--in widescreen. The extras were fab; especially the hilarious feature-length commentary reuniting all the kids from the film. It was worth the price of the DVD alone. (Although I do wonder why the remarkable Sean Astin disappears halfway through.) It was also cool to see the Cyndi Lauper music video again after all these years.The only thing that really disappointed me was that the three deleted scenes were not added back into the film. You can only view them separately which, quite frankly, bites. What's so strange about "The Goonies" deleted scenes is that many years ago, Disney Channel aired the film with all the deletions reinstated! I actually have this version on a video tape and I was hoping the DVD would be the complete film.All in all, an excellent DVD.

Summary: hmmm
Review: yeah, this movie was alright. it was a fun movie and i love the kid from indiana jones on there (i dont remember his name in the goonies,but he was shorty in indiana jones). the kid in the freezer with the dead body - bad taste in amusement. my friends convinced me to watch it with them since i had never seen it. it was fun to watch with them, but 20 minutes into the movie, i'm asking my friends "gosh, are the kids this annoying through the entire movie?" unfortunately the answer was yes. did the characters really need to be complete brats? i mean, yeah, they're kids, and perhaps thats somewhat realistic, but i think it went overboard. it was just irritating.

Summary: the octopus was really scary
Review: I saw Goonies in the theatre at least 10 times during its initial run. I then watched it on video a few thousand more times. Now, 16 years after first seeing it, I now have the Goonies on DVD, and I must say it is a great disc.
First off the deleted scenes. I have been waiting forever to see the infamous octopus scene. Well it sucked, but only through this great DVD was I able to finally see it. Most of the cut scenes were cut for a reason (they were bad) but it is fun to see them anyways, and some of them fill in some of the gaps found when watching the finished movie.
The great thing about this disc is the commentary. Instead of just a audio commentary with a director and a few actors, the makers of the disc got all the original Goonies, and director Richard Donner, to do a video commentary. So while you watch the movie, you also see all the Goonies, all grown up, talk about the film and have fun while they relive the time they spent together while they were filming it. I just wish Corey "Mouth" Feldman could have shut up for at least two seconds during it!
All in all a great DVD for a classic movie. Buy it already! Oh and you get the Cindy Lauper music video too! Where else can you see Captain Lou Albano and the gang these days?

Summary: One of the funnest movies ever made, and one of the best!
Review: Strangely enough, I just now watched "The Goonies" for the first time in my life. I had always heard about how great it was, but I never could find it on television or at a rental store. I know one thing though, "The Goonies" was well worth waiting for! A group of kids decide to embark on an adventure after finding an old map in a place they weren't supposed to be. According to the treasure map, if they do everything right while also staying alive, there just might be some gold hidden somewhere. But getting to the riches will not be an easy task at all. Lurking around every corner in their upcoming, underground journey, are mind-twisting passages, tons of booby-traps, and wanted criminals who aren't exactly the nicest bunch in town. Every single thing about "The Goonies" is GREAT! Everybody does a great job of acting, the main characters all have their own original identities, such as Mikey (Sean Astin) being adventurous, Data (Ke Huy Quan) with all of his interesting and futuristic gadgets, and Chunk (Jeff Cohen) having a keen sense of finding food. The adventure itself is equally as interesting, with eye-popping visuals and booby-traps everywhere in sight. "The Goonies" isn't only packed with an interesting adventure and superb acting, to make it even better, there are many parts that are humorous and for some people, maybe even one or two scary parts. To me, "The Goonies" seemed a lot like an Indiana Jones adventure (most similar to "Raiders of The Lost Ark") with a peaceful, yet thrilling, charm to it. To make it short, "The Goonies" is like the Indiana Jones of kids movies. But don't get me wrong, "The Goonies" is NOT a movie that ONLY kids can enjoy. I'm 21 and this is one of the best movies I've ever seen, and I'm not exaggerating! If you're a kid at heart, have any kids around that like movies, or if you just like funny, interesting, adventuresome, classic, or unforgettable movies, purchase "The Goonies" right away!!!!! Another reason I really like "The Goonies" is that watching it makes me want to be a kid again. I miss the days when I used to have that sense of adventure and go walking in the woods or somewhere else by myself or with friends, just looking to discover something new in the world, while all the while, not having anything to worry about, except to get back home on time. In other words, "The Goonies" rekindled some of my past memories that I miss A LOT, and when a movie can do that, then it's definitely something.
